I know that the Hilton Bonnet Creek has a runner's package that you can book with some nice perks (including late checkout the day of the half). I was seriously looking into staying there but it ended up being a little too expensive for my grad student budget. But I've heard really good things...

Seriously! And I thought the stress for my upcoming PhD defense was bad...

I'm in!!!!

Honestly, I would have preferred those temperatures to the 70 degree 100% humidity during the Princess Half in 2014. That was brutal!

I've been waiting for one of these to get started! Count me in too! I did the GSC in 2014 and I can't wait to do it again next year.

Hey guys, just looking for a little advice here. I've been feeling pretty lousy for the last 3 weeks (haven't been able to do much training) and yesterday I was diagnosed with mono. I know strenuous exercise is a big no-no with mono and my doctor told me that I'm not allowed to train until...

Definitely check out the travel providers. I was just able to get registration for the Wine and Dine Half through GET travel. I did have to book a 2 night stay through them, but I would have been doing that anyway (just through Disney) so it really didn't cost any extra.

Met them on Sunday and only waited about 45 minutes. We got in line around 6:00 and they closed the line about 20 minutes later. Was pretty excited about that after hearing about all of the 2+ hour waits.

Joining in! Sounds like it was a hectic time with all the moving and everything. Can't wait to read more.

So does anyone know what the benefit to registering as a team is? My sister and I are considering registering as a team, but I'm not sure if it worth it? Any insight? Thanks!

Great update! I can't believe how humid it was! And how crowded! Looks like you were having a great time so far. If you don't mind my asking, what 10K or half marathon time did you submit to get placed in corral D?

Joining in! All of the marathon reports I've read have been so fun/inspirational that I am now officially registered for the princess half in February! Looks like a great start to the report so far! And that sparkle skirt really is adorable!

Those nachos look so delicious. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't eat tortilla chips anymore, so I'm glad you found some you could eat. I can't believe the line for La Cava was longer than the line for Malestrom. I guess everyone really was in the holiday spirit. :rotfl: Those...

I was in Japan last October and there was a woman who in line ahead of me that picked twins. Turned out she has done this 6 or 7 times before and had gotten twins every time! We asked her what her secret was but she said she didn't really know. Well, I decided I would use her help to try and...

Hope it not too late to join in! Put me down for 800 minutes!

I agree with the sort of arbitrary run/walk routine only I use trees and benches. I only seriously started running a few weeks ago and I'm already seeing some improvement on my time using this method. Personally I prefer to run outside because it's much easier to stop when I'm out of breath...

Even fake spiders freak me out. I used to work at a day care with a tarantula toy and I swear it was like the kids wanted to chase me with it. :rotfl2: And yeah, I think the the issue was just that resort was so new. It had only been open a few months at that point and I think they were...

Three weeks of training down since registering for the GSC and let me tell you it's been tough. Can't believe I signed up for this - must be crazy! :rotfl: Starting to see some improvement though. Started off at a 15:00 minute mile pace and now down to 13:30. Let's see if I can keep this up!

What a great set of updates! First of all, I cannot believe you stared at a tarantula for a whole minute! :scared1: Seriously nothing scares me more in this world than spiders. In fact, had I attempted such a daring feat, I would have been curled up in a ball crying within the first 5...

Great set of updates! Glad you're back! Stinks about Everest though you're not the only one who didn't get to ride it that day. It was down pretty much all morning and into the early afternoon. Some woman at the guest services counter was NOT HAPPY. We were in there for almost 45 minutes...
